What I liked about it was that it was like a crash course on ancient civilizations. I wasn't fimiliar with a few of the archeoligical sites and historical events mentioned, which made it interesting for me to watch. I would highly recommend watching it if you haven't already. I would divide the material they present as either fact or speculation. Mostly they present real archeological sites, real historical events but then they interpret it to fit their theory of Ancient Aliens, which is nothing but speculation. Some where credible historians and some were conspiracy theorist but of the latter the worst was Giorgio Tsoukalos. He was incredibly annoying, like if he was to comment on this picture he would insist they were aliens in space suites, instead of thinking of something more obvious like the picture depicts a person wearing a headdress or mask.
